A RADIO presenter visited Amazon’s Fulfilment Centre in Tilbury to learn about robotics in the real world.
Heart FM presenter Jenni Falconer made the visit as part of a new programme called Amazon Future Engineer, aiming to inspire UK schoolchildren to pursue careers in computer science and coding.
Jenni and her daughter, Ella, 8, took part in a robotics workshop, learing to programme palm-sized robots that use similar technology used by robots that fulfill customer orders. Amazon Future Engineer aims to help more than one million children to try computer science in the next two years.
